DND cites criticality of time in acquiring two landing dock vessels

The Department of National Defense (DND) has cited operational requirement and criticality of time in acquiring the two landing dock vessels in denying two prospective bidders’ proposal to move the date for Submission, Opening of Bids and Evaluation (SOBE) for the Landing Dock Acquisition Project for the Philippine Navy.

SOBE date for the said project remains scheduled on August 8.

“Proposal not accepted due to operational requirement and criticality of time in acquiring said vessels,” National Defense Assistant Secretary Manuel Felino Ramos, chair for DND Bids and Awards Committee 1, in a supplemental bid bulletin dated July 25.
